Will not launch.

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

got a problem. regardless of what version i have on ArmA, the game WILL NOT launch.

when i hit the exe to play the game, i just get a big black screen, nothing at all.

Ive tried re-installing, no luck. ive got everything on this rig up to date....

The game did work for me at one point, till a few months ago when i started getting this crap. I've been patiently waiting for a new patch to solve it, which obviously didn't (1.8).

Here is my DxDiag, what good it'll do, i think this rig is MORE than capable of running this game:

To be honest, ive not played this game in so long i really dont know why i brought it, i expected this behaviour from ArmA, i can remember similar rubbish with OperationFlashpoint.

BIS, sort it out, this game is full of holes.

Could be an problem with copy protection.

Do you have virtual drives in use, or installed an StarForce protected game?

I dont use virtual drives.

Where can i find a list of starforce protected games?.

Thanks.

Here for example.

The problem with starforce is, that it install own drivers for the CD/DVD drive. What could lead to problems with other games, and it is not compatible with any drive.

Well, i did have the Colin Mcrae Rally DIRT (Demo) installed, which i downloaded, but uninstalled it the same day...

I have FlatOut 2, not a hard copy. brought and downloaded via Steam (still have that installed)

Thats the only two i have on that list you gave me.

None of these are on CD, as i said, i downloaded these programs.

Here you can find the official tool to get rid of the starforce drivers.

The starforce drivers will never be uninstalled by uninstalling the protected game, that is part of the starforce problem.

Maybe you have to re-install ArmA, so the copy protection of you`re version can work properly.

The demo of CM Dirt is starforce protected, so you have installed starforce by installing CM Dirt.

Try to re-install ArmA, it should work then, but i`m not sure about that.

You have to test that out, than you`ll see.

But i see you have done that allready.

Try to reinstall the original drivers for the drive, that should kick the starforce drivers out.

i'm updating the firmware of one of the drives for my pc.

To be perfectly honest, i feel that this will not solve my problem, as ive got two CD drives and i still get the black screen no matter what drive the disk is in.

Not the firmware, that will not help.

The problem are the stareforce drivers, that have to be replaced with original Vista drivers.

how would i go about doing that?. i assume i just go to device manager and remove them?, then refresh and let the operating system do the rest?.

That should work, yes.

Well ive done it. and its not changed a thing. i still get a black screen when trying to launch the game...

I`d bet it`s because of starforce.

ArmA worked before, but not after you have installed the CM Dirt demo.

That demo uses starforce, what means you have installed starforce on you`re system.

The removal tool can have problems with Vista i think. Vista is very restrictive when application trying to access that hardware-level.

I did run the application as administrator, but obviously this made no difference.

Are you sure that the Stareforce drivers would have been installed?, as i didn't install the demo from a disk. i downloaded it off the net.

I never said that Arma stopped working after the CM Dirt demo, it was actually playing up before then smile_o.gif

I don't think it's starforce. How could that possible affect Arma when it actually launches? Starforce is bad, but not in that way.

Do you hear any sound/music when you start arma and get the black screen?

Did you change any (video/audio) settings in arma before it went black? if yes, you might perhaps check the config file of arma (ArmA.cfg) and check if everything is ok, perhaps even try to change some things as the resolution and the refreshrate to a lower value.

The weird thing is that a re-install didn't do anything, so it might be caused by something else. Perhaps you could try updating your graphic drivers.

The weird thing is that a re-install didn't do anything, so it might be caused by something else. Perhaps you could try updating your graphic drivers.

I think starforce could effect the game from recognizing the disk at startup, which could cause this. but i really dont think this is the problem.

Ive had this problem for so long i couldn't say when exactly it started or what i "did" to cause it...

I think the only thing that could have caused this is updating drivers, because thats pretty much the only "major" thing i do to this system.

And yes, i have the latest graphics card drivers. as i said in my orginal post.

I hear no sound when i try to launch the game, just a big black screen, and all i can see is my mouse pointer, the resolution is 800x600 i think, judging by the size of the pointer.

I DO remember a while ago trying to launch the game, i left the computer with the black screen for about 30 minutes, and i suffered some graphical corruption, very much like these people are suffering in this thread:

Some game this has turned out to be.

could you also check the ArmA.cfg or even post it in here? It should be located in the ArmA folder in my documents.

I play ArmA with Win2k Prof., but from time to time i test it with Vista Home Premium, and never got those errors.

Not the black screen over a long time, or the totally strange graphics.
